Planning go-ahead for 200 homes near Burscough
Lathom, near Burscough, is to get 200 new homes after housebuilder Bellway was granted planning permission for its scheme.
The new development, on Neverstitch Road, is an extension of Bellway’s previous Lathom Pastures development that proved popular with purchasers when it launched in 2018.
Bellway will transform the 18 acre site bought from the Neverstitch Road Consortium with a mix of three- and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached homes from its individually designed Artisan collection.
The development will also feature three acres of open green space that will form part of the new Ormskirk to Skelmersdale Linear Park.
Sales director at Bellway North West, Jenny Bell, said: “We are looking forward to getting started on site.
“Close to Ormskirk and Burscough and well placed for access to Lancashire’s fantastic open green spaces, Lathom Pastures is in a great location and homes were in high demand – we anticipate this new phase to be equally as popular when homes go on sale towards the end of this year.”
As part of the planning agreement, Bellway has made a Section 106 contribution of £100,000 towards the construction of the Ormskirk to Skelmersdale Linear Park, a new public space.
Remediation works have just started on site, with Bellway hoping to commence build in the next few months. Sales are expected to launch towards the end of this year, with show homes in 2023.
